Looking for a a free Video Recorder for your iPhone? Got Cydia? Cycorder is a video recording for the iPhone with real time compression and audio recorder built in. You can now exit the app while recording by pressing the home button and it will continue recording in the background. There are other video commercial video recording apps for the iPhone but Cycorder is Free (ad supported) and has many more features.

Use iPhone mods and hacks at your own risk! Installing 3rd Party iPhone apps requires you to jailbreak the iPhone before installing the native software and apps. You can use Installer.app for Mac OSX and iBrickr for Windows PC to do this. Browse the full list of all iPhone and iPod touch native 3rd party apps filed under the software category.

SCP is basically FTP but secure. You can use freeware SCP software: WinSCP for Windows or Fugu for Mac to do this. Then you need to enter your iPhone’s IP address (settings/Wi-Fi/blue arrow for your Wi-Fi connection) and login with username: root and password: alpine. From there go to the directory /private/var/mobile/Media/Videos and you will be able to see your videos. Drag and drop those files to your desktop to transfer them to your computer from your iPhone.

The other things you can do is install Netatalk from Cydia which will make your iPhone show up in Finder under Shared if you have an Apple machine. To do the SCP mentioned above make sure to install OpenSSh first in Cydia.

he guys, There is this Windows program called iPhoneBrowser that you can use to transfer files from your iPhone to your PC. It’s really easy to use. You just install it, then open it and connect your iPhone via USB. It’s much easier than doing FTP. You can get it here http://code.google.com/p/iphonebrowser/downloads/list

Go to google and look for a program called Total commander, download it, install it and then search in google: “tpot total commander iphone” and a link should come up, it is self explanotory from there.

Quick Question. Is there an app out that allows you to use a file finder on the iPhone and email files from that app. This would be ideal for the cycorder because we wouldn’t need a PC to transfer and/or send videos. I tried most of the viewfinders iPhone has to offer and I haven’t found one yet.

email videos and other files from your phone by using Finder. Install this from Cydia. Go into finder, locate the file (move to the photo folder in media and send from there). However, after updating my phone to 2.2 I cannot get this to work.

hey guys, just a quick question…i installed iphone browser and copied my videos to the desktop but when i play them there is no sound…also the video is vertical instead of horizontal…any suggestions as to fixing these problems??

FOR CHRIST’S SAKE. JUST SOME-ONE TELL ME PLEASE IN SIMPLE EASY TO GO 1, 2, 3 STEPS HOW TO PUT THE SHIZ I JUST RECORDED ON MY CYCORDER ONTO MY PC. IT SURELY CANT BE THAT TECHNICAL AND OPENING UP THE iPHONE SO MUCH (SSH WISE). Is there not a simple app. LIKE THE TONEFX (BRILLIANT) I can use. HEAVENS TO BETSY????????

Here is how I was able to copy the Cycorder videos from my iPhone to my pc:

Downloaded iPhoneBroswer 1.8 from http://code.google.com/p/iphonebrowser/downloads/list using Google Chrome browser & installed to D:\iPhonebrowser. Then I went to that directory, invoked the iphonebrowser.exe file. On the left side pane, I selected the directory structure private/var/mobile/Media/Videos. Selected all the videos and right mouse clicked, selected the Save As option and saved them to a folder on my pc where I keep all my videos. Using RealPlayer, I am able to view those videos with sound :-). Only thing I need to figure out now is how to rotate the videos that I shot using landscape mode so I can view them on my PC without having to tilt it like I do on iPhone..

I have had this app for a while. Video and sound quality is really good. Even storing large 5-10 minute files are not a problem. Playback is fast as well. Not sure how to get the video uploaded from my phone to PC or Facebook or what ever. chris@wasabiracing.com if someone knows please drop a line

Hi. I would rather post my question here than simply go to Google and look it up for myself but can you tell me what us Cycorder and how does it carry any political ramifications? Also, how do I turn on my iPhone and last but not least do you have a recipe for stuffed bell peppers?

Please help I really need this right away and am toooo lazy to go to Google.

ok i have downloaded iphoneBrowser and have been able to back up the Cydia app; however i cannot see videos on windows media player. it keeps saying that the file is incompatible. How can i make the file compatible?
